Today I primed the hull with etch primer and add Mr surfacer 500 to the flat hull plates the model is now finished ready to ship up to Noels place next Friday for painting and weathering I will leave off the wheels tracks and tools until later ... Dale

Perfect in every way Dale!

I can tell already it will equal your Tiger in realism. I am looking forward to your King Tiger as well. Not to mention your Panzer III.

Keep up the amazing work
Tim

I can't wait for this Sherman to get it's final coat of paint - I've been following its progress with interest ever since I joined the forum

Could we have a close up of your armour surface before the paint goes on please

Adrian.

That is a super nice job on the Sherman Dale. Fantastic details. I hope mine comes out that nice. The surfacer treatment looks like weathered snow camo! I can't wait to see it painted!

Do you plan to sell it? Or keep it once finished?

Bob

Last night I gave my sherman it second coat of primer over the Mr surfacer. Now it done ... I just have to wait for my King tiger .. No more modeling for a while . Back to jobs around the house to build up the brownie points . Dale

Here is a close up of the side fender rail for Allan. It really finishes off the look of the model

Every picture just blows my mind Dale! Are you sure you want to keep it? I'm not sure it's quite up to your standards, what with those sloppy welds and stuff. I have a good home for it right here

Of course you'd have to change your planned post-Battle of the Bulge paint job to a Normandy one for it to fit in around here.

Incredible, beautiful work on your Sherman Dale. Just immaculate from start to finish. Congratulations on this one. Job well done.

Kindest regards
Tim

Dale,
Glad you're planning on keeping this Sherman. I was going to say I would sell mine and buy yours if you planned on selling it.

But it sounds like I'd have to arm wrestle Tim for it. Probably best if you keep it - to prevent us having to fight over it! I think Tim would win anyway!

Can't wait to see the paint and weathering!
Bob
